Averill fights for family...

from Facebook:February 13 at 12:11pm

Dear friends and family,

My wife will be running the Napa Half Marathon July 18 for Team Challenge to raise funds to find a cure for Chron's Disease. She is running in honor of her father, who has suffered with this disease for the past 40 years, and her sister who was diagnosed with a form of IBD about 2 years ago. Unfortunately the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in her family. She is currently in the process of getting a possible diagnosis as well.

Chron's Disease and Ulcerative Collitis are collectively known together as Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). They are painful, medically incurable diseases that attack the digestive system. IBD causes recurring inflammation throughout the digestive system, which leads many patients to frequent hospitalization, grueling drug and diet regimens, and intense pain on a day-to-day basis.Please visit her website for more details and to make an online donation! Please forward this to as many friends as you like! This cause is very important to me and I appreciate your help and support!
